The optimisation of Pseudotyped viruses for the characterisation of immune responses to equine influenza virus (2016)
Journal Article

Pseudotyped viruses (PVs) produced by co-transfecting cells with plasmids expressing lentiviral core proteins and viral envelope proteins are potentially powerful tools for studying various aspects of equine influenza virus (EIV) biology. The aim of... Read More about The optimisation of Pseudotyped viruses for the characterisation of immune responses to equine influenza virus.

Canine parvovirus (CPV-2) variants circulating in Nigerian dogs (2016)
Journal Article

Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) is a highly contagious viral disease with three variants (CPV-2a, CPV-2b and CPV-2c) currently circulating in dogs worldwide. The main aim of this study was to determine the prevalent CPV-2 variant in faecal samples f... Read More about Canine parvovirus (CPV-2) variants circulating in Nigerian dogs.

The influenza NS1 protein: what do we know in equine influenza virus pathogenesis? (2016)
Journal Article

Equine influenza virus remains a serious health and potential economic problem throughout most parts of the world, despite intensive vaccination programs in some horse populations. The influenza non-structural protein 1 (NS1) has multiple functions i... Read More about The influenza NS1 protein: what do we know in equine influenza virus pathogenesis?.

Small animal disease surveillance: respiratory disease (2016)
Journal Article

This second Small Animal Disease Surveillance report focuses on syndromic surveillance of i) respiratory disease in veterinary practice and ii) feline calicivirus (FCV) based on laboratory diagnosis, in a large veterinary-visiting pet population of t...

Controlling equine influenza: Traditional to next generation serological assays (2016)
Journal Article

Serological assays provide an indirect route for the recognition of infectious agents via the detection of antibodies against the infectious agent of interest within serum. Serological assays for equine influenza A virus can be applied for different... Read More about Controlling equine influenza: Traditional to next generation serological assays.

Technical considerations for the generation of novel pseudotyped viruses (2016)
Journal Article

A pseudotyped virus (PV) is a virus particle with an envelope protein originating from a different virus. The ability to dictate which envelope proteins are expressed on the surface has made pseudotyping an important tool for basic virological studie...
